Lennox 52W96 TXV

The Lennox 52W96 TXV is a precision-engineered thermostatic expansion valve designed to regulate refrigerant flow in high-capacity 6-ton residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This OEM Lennox replacement part features a 5/8" x 1/2" ODF sweat connection and a 30-inch capillary tube, ensuring accurate superheat control and system stability. Built for compatibility with R-410A refrigerant, it utilizes a brass body construction to withstand high-pressure environments and prevent corrosion within the cooling circuit. For technicians performing a TXV valve replacement, this component is critical for maintaining evaporator efficiency and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging. The non-bleed design ensures that the valve remains seated during the off-cycle, preventing refrigerant migration and optimizing startup performance in split systems and air handlers. Whether you are troubleshooting a restricted metering device or upgrading an older system, this thermal expansion valve provides the reliability required for 6-ton HVAC systems.

Key Benefits

  • High-Capacity 6-Ton Rating: Specifically calibrated for large-tonnage evaporators to maintain consistent cooling output.
  • Precision Metering: Features a 30-inch capillary line for flexible bulb placement and accurate temperature sensing of the suction line.
  • Durable Brass Body: Robust 5/8" x 1/2" ODF sweat connections provide secure, leak-resistant joints during brazing.
  • R-410A Compatibility: Engineered to handle the specific pressure-temperature relationship of modern HFC refrigerants.
  • System Efficiency: Minimizes hunting and ensures optimal evaporator coil loading for maximum SEER performance.

Common Questions

What are the symptoms of a failing Lennox 52W96 TXV?
Common indicators include evaporator coil icing, high superheat readings, or the system getting "stuck" in a vacuum on the low side. Technicians should check for a clogged inlet screen or a lost power assembly charge.

Is this TXV compatible with R-22 systems?
No, the Lennox 52W96 is specifically designed for R-410A. Using it with different refrigerants will lead to improper metering and potential compressor damage due to incorrect pressure-to-temperature ratios.

Does this valve require a specific bulb orientation?
Yes, for the 30" capillary tube, the sensing bulb should be mounted on a horizontal run of the suction line at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock position, never at the bottom where oil trapping can interfere with readings.
